<0> postconf | gre
<0> er
<1> comment out that line in main.cf
<2> how will this affect the mail server?
<2> or mail delivery?
<1> Have you already pasted your postconf -n ?
<0> why?
<0> btw, is it debian?
<0> i mean, how procmail is set up on this system, to deliver to /var/mail/$USER ?
<0> or to somewhere else?
<2> http://pastebin.com/541918
<2> it is debian sarge
<0> and you haven't touched procmail, right?
<1> yeah, really we can't guess what will happen, but if you're using local(8) for delivery your "home_mailbox = Maildir/" will be used.
<2> yeppa, ahven't touched it
<0> if it's the default, disabling it will NOT affect delivery



<2> oh well, lets try ^^
<0> postfix will deliver to /var/spool/mail/$USER directly, as procmail did
<0> or /var/mail/$USER wihch is the same (symlink)
<1> he's got "home_mailbox = Maildir/"
<0> ah
<0> heh. I'm stupid rob0 ;)
<2> path is: /home/mail/USER/Maildir/
<1> You are not :)
<0> now i see *why* you asked for postconf -n ;)
<0> in procmail??
<2> no, it's where the mailboxes are ^^
<1> <== hopes someday to be stupid like mjt :)
<2> don't even know where the procmail config is ^^
<0> /etc/procmailrc or smth like that
<0> ok, so the real question is where mail SHOULD be delivered to
<2> can't deactivate procmail ^^
<2> spam******in is enabled in there
<1> ah
<1> Then you have some reading to do
<2> well, I know now more than before :) I know now that procmail does the final delivery
<1> procmailrc(5) and procmailex(5) man pages are good.
<1> I used Nancy McGough's procmail howto many years ago, learned a lot there.
<0> Mr_Morden: for the record -- /home/mail/$USER/Maildir/ is definitely NOT a default mail path. I'm unsure about spam******in, maybe sa in sarge integrates into procmailrc (somewhat unsafe thing but possible). So that must be non-default procmailrc.
<0> Mr_Morden: also, you'd better verify your smtpd_recipient_restrictions list, wrt "safety". For example, blocking on multihop.dsbl.org is unsafe, unless you don't care about your email; list.dsbl.org appears twice; there's xbl-sbl.spamhaus.org which includes cbl, sbl and opm lists...
<0> and proxies.blackholes.wirehub.net are gone several years ago
<0> i've already seen this stuff somewhere.
<2> just got a call about visiting the ECJ
<1> Some HOWTO somewhere has all those RBL's like that, and people just follow it without knowing what they do.
<3> maybe people would just follow it without thinking
<4> Can someone help me understand the functional difference between myhostname and mydomain?
<1> !myhostname
<5> rob0: 'myhostname' : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The internet hostname of this mail system. The default is to use the fully-qualified domain name from gethostname(). $myhostname is used as a default value for many other configuration parameters.
<1> !mydomain
<5> rob0: 'mydomain' : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The internet domain name of this mail system. The default is to use $myhostname minus the first component. $mydomain is used as a default value for many other configuration parameters.
<4> Thanks rob0. I'm an IRC newbie too :)
<4> rob0: I read that off the config file, I'm just confused as to the distinction between them. For example I'm setting all this up on a staging server set up at staging.mysite.com... so right now I have both myhostname and mydoman set to staging.mysite.com. Does this make sense or should mydomain just be mysite.com? I don't understand the impact it has.
<1> knoba is a feature of this channel, not of IRC in general :)
<1> postconf -d | egrep 'my(domain|hostname)'
<1> that tells you the default settings which rely on those.
<6> which queue would mail go into before being scanned (if one is using amavisd with an smtpd running on port 1025 or something)
<0> now tell me where the myhostname is used... as in "many other configuration parameters"...
<0> s/myhostname/mydomain
<0> myhostname IS used in 2 or 3 other parameters.
<0> only one place in default config: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
<0> (for mydomain)
<4> Thanks for the help fellas, just needed a kick in the right direction :)
<7> anybody here familiar with setting up a mail gateway/relay?
<7> im having issues adding my trusted networks i cant seem to get them to work
<7> no matter what i do only localhost can connect to the relay
<8> inet_interfaces
<7> gotcha
<7> damn i cant believe i missed that
<7> thanks
<4> Hm... I'm a little confused... postconf is reporting myhostname and mydomain as mysite.com, but in main.cf I've set it to subdomain.mysite.com for both and restarted the server... what am I missing?
<9> how can one tell if they have razor running
<9> I'm using amavisd-new, spam******in, and clamav on my postfix e-mail server ( I just installed the DAG rpm for razor) did all the little setup now I'd like to know if it's funning
<7> hey f3ew i updated the conf to set inet_interfaces = all ran postfix reload and still having issues. in the trust section i have mynetworks_style = subnet what else could be the issue here?
<7> i cant even telnet to the port i get connection refused
<1> <== big bushy beard (no razor running here :) )
<1> johnjacobs: firewall blocking it maybe? Logs?



<7> no firewall on the machine
<7> i tried looking in the mail logs but i dont even see the connection being made
<1> Tvienti: maybe multiple myhostname / mydomain lines in main.cf?
<4> rob0: nope =/
<1> johnjacobs: no signs of error in logs? Paste "netstat -punta | grep ':25 .*LISTEN'" here.
<4> Uh... nevermind... didn't realist postconf -d showed default as opposed to the actual settings.. duh
<7> sbserver4:/etc/postfix # netstat -punta | grep ':25 .*LISTEN'
<7> tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17647/master
<7> tcp 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN 17647/master
<7> i set inet_interfaces to all and reloaded
<7> looks like the config is reading an access table from /etc/postfix/access? do i need to edit this as well?
<1> ok, that is only listening on localhost, is it now bound to 0.0.0.0:25 ?
<7> i dont know i tried editing the access table and adding my network to it but its not working ;)
<7> i set the inet_interfaces a while back
<1> Don't set inet_interfaces, just comment it out, the default is "all".
<7> ok i'll comment them back out they were commented out before
<1> johnjacobs might benefit from BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html
<7> i set it up man it sends mail
<7> only from localhost though i cant connect to port 25 from anywhere else
<10> hello
<7> so for the trusted hosts can i set the style back to subnet?
<7> mynetworks_style = subnet
<7> this is what i set it to but the hosts on my subnet are unable to connect to the port
<4> I'm missing something simple, I think... my server won't receive mail from outside. If I telnet from my machine into the remote server, it seems to connect then disconnect. But if I telnet from the remote server to itself, it connects fine... do I need to set something specific to open up SMTP to the outside world?
<4> (firewall's accepting all on 25)
<1> Tvienti: what is the IP (or hostname)?
<11> Hello
<4> rob0: 209.59.11.104
<11> How to check whether posifix is compiled with postgresql support or not?
<1> telnet: connect to address 209.59.11.104: Connection refused
<1> but I guess you knew that
<1> bejoy: postconf -m
<4> Sort of. Locally I'm using DOS which isn't as informative :) I thought it was connecting/disconnecting. But anyhow... I can connect from the server to localhost, just not from outside...
<11> rob0, if there is support for postgresql what should there in the output of postconf -m?
<4> smtp_client_restrictions is set to nothing... I'm not sure what else to check here..
<1> "Connection refused" means either the port is not listening or the firewall rejected it with ICMP port unreachable.
<1> bejoy: PGSQL_README.html
<4> Then the issue's above Postfix... ok rob0, I'll dig around. Thanks for the insight.
<12> so is there some way i can have postfix keep all of the mail it delivers and sends?
<1> Tvienti: did you look at the discussion with johnjacobs?
<12> ie... a duplicate mail for everything in or out
<7> im having the same issues
<4> rob0: I did, actually. Netstat shows the following..
<4> tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3112/sendmail: acce
<4> tcp 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 25208/master
<1> 127.0.0.1:25 is localhost and 3112/sendmail is NOT Postfix!!!
<13> Xoritor: it is in the postfix docs
<12> Zerberus, cool... thx ill go look
<4> rob0: Does this look better?
<4> tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25348/master
<1> much :)
<4> tcp 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 25348/master
<1> 220 hcblstaging.reelpoint.com ESMTP Postfix
<4> w00t
<4> I guess I was under the impression that postfix would've griped if I started the service and something else was already listening on SMTP =/ Thanks for the help!
<12> Zerberus, everything i see in the docs say how to avoid dupes, but i want to CREATE dupes and keep them...
<13> Xoritor: look closer
<12> any hints on a section to look at?
<1> Tvienti: it *did* log an error. Maybe your syslogd splits up mail.* of different priorities.
<13> Xoritor: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#recipient_bcc_maps, there is always_bcc and sender_bcc_maps
<12> Zerberus, thank you... more than i even needed ;-)
<4> rob0: Ah, probably... I'm trying to learn Linux and Postfix at once. Thanks for being patient with me.
<12> Zerberus, thanks again
<4> Anyone wanna recommend a pop3 server to me? :D
<13> Tvienti: dovecot
<14> yea, courier-pop3 is fine as well
<4> Solid, thanks fellas.
<15> Tvienti: teapop
<16> hi folks. hey, is there a quick-and-easy way to get postfix to allow SMTP simply based on the unix username and p***word? Google just isn't being kind...
<14> search for smtp-auth
<14> or look here -> http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/#authsmtp
<16> so do i have to use something like SASL?
<13> mgeary: there is no way around SASL
<13> http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
